drainage problems
It’s been an eventful day…
- got a facial done today (face feels so clean)
- went to the shops, picked up some weed killer (definately not for me, never ever in the garden to begin with), moogoo products (shampoo and conditioner and some eczema cream for my mum), cleaning drain products
- spent 2hrs with my parents fixing the upstairs toilet. This was an event in itself
For whatever reason, our plumbing is pretty… shit(pun intended). and every now and again, the upstairs toilet gets clogged.
It’s bad enough that it’s clogged but the water (sewarage of course) goes back up through the pipes into the bathroom next door. We decided that if we got that drainage stuff that your pour down the drain to break down (whatever it is…poo of course) that it might work (it didn’t)..
Water seeped from the shower and then onto the tiles and for whatever reason…. it started seeping through the plastering which happens to be the kitchen downstairs and leaked through via the downlights downstairs.
You can imagine me trying to throw buckets of water out from the second story balcony of water and what looked like floating poo… and my dad swearing his head off and plunging away to get the blockage out…eventually he pulled the garden hose through the house and unclogged the plumbing..
so we managed to fix the upstairs only to come downstairs to find another problem.
The kitchen smelt bad like being stuck in the toilet with someone who’s got diarohea.. funnily enough the bathroom didn’t smell as bad (maybe because my dad had poured down the sink an entire bottle of that “draining thingy” and it smelt more like detergent than anything else.
Needless to say, most of it’s fixed (or dry) or whatever…
and after going through all of that, the upstairs toilet will only be in use provided no one uses toilet paper or takes a dump.
